Consistent with its status as one of the biggest abandoned mines in Nevada, it requires a hike of thousands of feet and a significant elevation decline just to get down to where the underground workings really begin at this massive mine… As can be seen near the start of this video, there are twin portals and passages running parallel down to the underground workings. Our guess was that this was because one passage was for traffic entering the mine and the other for traffic departing the mine. Deep underneath the mountain, the passages converge on a main hub from which drifts branch out in all directions. At the heart of this hub is a breakroom and a large workshop. A large drift takes off to the right from the workshop, while to the left a drift meanders away and another passage descends deeper into the bowels of the mountain. In this first video, we explore the hub of the mine as well as the workings taking off to the left from the hub. Following the descending passage, we were eventually blocked by flooding as the mine workings continue deep beneath the water level inside of the mine. One can only imagine how many miles of workings are under those dark waters. Fortunately, the other main drift taking off to the left was on a slight upward incline and so the water drained down and (mostly) out.
With the miles of underground workings at this abandoned mine stretching well into the double digits, one might expect there to be quite a lot of information available on this site. However, that is not the case. There is surprisingly little information to be found online and the various government agencies involved with this site have done a pretty thorough job of scrubbing references to it from their public databases.

Growing up in California’s “GoldRushCountry” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them – nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well.
These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that niche of our history is gone forever. But, guess what? We have fun doing it! This is exploring history firsthand – bushwhacking down steep canyons and over rough mountains, figuring out the techniques the miners used and the equipment they worked with, seeing the innovations they came up with, discovering lost mines that no one has been in for a hundred years, wandering through ghost towns where the only sound is the wind... These journeys allow a feeling of connection to a time when the world was a very different place. And I’d love to think that in some small way we are paying tribute to those hardy miners that worked these mines before we were even born.
So, yes, in short, we are adit addicts… I hope you’ll join us on these adventures!

As promised, I recently returned to the haunted HortonMine to fully explore it no matter what happened. I first explored the mine almost a year ago but turned around after only going into it a hundred feet or so and encountering a supernatural presence that I caught on film. That video is here if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReYbrlG4BAU
This most recent follow-up exploration led me deep into the mine all the way to its flooded end where I was standing at the bottom of a 900-foot tall ore pass that had water cascading down it. As I was filming this dank area, I once again had a frightening encounter with an unknown presence. After this recent experience, I will never set foot inside the Horton Mine again. Never.

Prospecting some new showings and sampling multiple showings for assays some are new and some are re samples for over limits. We had removed about a dozen other samples before the start of the video and in total we got 26 samples. In the video we explain how to sample and what we use when sampling when doing prospecting and hard rock sampling by hand. Most of these outcrops are heavily Mineralized carrying good values of free gold, silver and copper.
This sampling is part of a 2018 and 2019 program we are doing so we won't have my assay results till all the samples are sent in once we do that we will update the video description with some of the results.
Hope everyone enjoys the video and stay tuned for more!

Disturbing, strange sounds. That's exactly what I caught on video while filming and documenting the abandoned WaldeckMine using the ThruNite TN12 flashlight. The Waldeck Mine is an abandoned gold mine located deep in a forested canyon in the high country. I went there on a stormy night in order to document the mine while reviewing and demonstrating ThruNite's excellent TN12 handheld flashlight. The abandoned mine itself is over 150 years old and still has a lot of awesome yet dangerous timbering in its furthest reaches. There are upper levels in the Waldeck Mine, but I only explored and documented the main haulage tunnel.
As mentioned in the video, the ThruNite TN12 flashlight I used exclusively for this demo and review has five light levels. Here are the lumens each light level puts out:
FIREFLYMODE: 0.4 lumens
LOW MODE: 18 lumens
MEDIUM MODE: 175 lumens
HIGH MODE: 435 lumens
TURBO MODE: 1100 lumens
The flashlight runs off of a 3400 mAh 18650 battery.

We recently undertook an arduous, mountainous hike to the remote, abandoned Black WidowMine where we discovered many interesting things including a possible ghost that we inadvertently caught on tape. Many thanks to YouTuber Max Wheeler for pointing out this strange anomaly in the video.
The Black Widow Mine is a massive mine with over 7000 feet of workings spread out through six complicated levels. The mine is accessed via two tunnel entrances. One entrance is much higher on the mountain than the other one. The upper and lower workings are connected inside the mine by a 300-foot inclined winze. This was an impressive mine, and the strenuous hike to reach it was definitely worth it. Towards the end of the video, we inadvertently caught something on tape that defies explanation. A possible ghost sighting? You be the judge. We also explored the mining camp located outside the upper tunnel entrance. Interesting, unusual things you will see in this video besides the "ghost" include an intact, antique Master Lock from the early 1900s and a hangman's noose (yes, a noose!) strung up deep in the lower workings.

Black Widow (video game)

Black Widow is a vectorarcade game developed by Atari released in 1982. The player takes the role of a Black widow spider defending a web from invading bugs. The player must move the spider around the web while simultaneously shooting/avoiding various bugs and collecting the bonuses that appear after the enemies are eliminated. The spider is controlled through two joysticks: the left one is used to move the spider, and the right one to control the shot direction.

Gameplay

The game is a twin-stick shooter in the vein of Robotron: 2084 by Williams, but with fewer enemies on-screen. To destroy certain enemies, the player must lure other enemies into destroying them. There is also the Bug Slayer, a bug that helps the player eliminate enemies, with only loss of potential points being the only consequence. The Bug Slayer can help the player in tough situations, but can also prevent the player from achieving the number of extra lives necessary to endure later, more difficult, rounds. Also, other enemies appear on the playing field as eggs, laid by other enemies. The player can move these eggs off the playing field to both eliminate the enemy and receive points, before it reaches maturity.

Welcome to My Nightmare

Welcome to My Nightmare is the eighth studio album by Alice Cooper, released in March 1975. This was Alice Cooper's first solo album (all previous Alice Cooper releases were band efforts), and his only album for the Atlantic Records label. The ensuing tour was one of the most over-the-top excursions of that era. Most of Lou Reed’s band joined Cooper for this record.

The cover artwork was created by Drew Struzan for Pacific Eye & Ear. Rolling Stone would later rank it 90th on the list of the "Top 100 Album Covers Of All Time". The remastered CD version adds three alternate version bonus tracks. Famed film actor of the horror genre Vincent Price provided the introductory monologue in the song "The Black Widow". The original version of "Escape" was recorded by The Hollywood Stars for their shelved 1974 album "Shine Like a Radio", which was finally released in 2013.

We returned to the NevadaSearchlightMine in order to explore the underground workings. The previous visit was a surface exploration of the many structures at the mine. We accessed the Nevada Searchlight Mine by climbing down the ladders in the 900-foot deep vertical shaft. This let us access the 100-level and the 200-level. Many artifacts are still in the mine including a few functioning ore carts, a miners' telephone, control panels, old signage, old tools, miners' graffiti and artwork, tobacco tins, etc.. We saw it all, and it's included in the video. Video filmed in summer 2011.

Montana Mining Exploration

The Nevada Searchlight Mine: Underground Exploration

We returned to the NevadaSearchlightMine in order to explore the underground workings. The previous visit was a surface exploration of the many structures at the mine. We accessed the Nevada Searchlight Mine by climbing down the ladders in the 900-foot deep vertical shaft. This let us access the 100-level and the 200-level. Many artifacts are still in the mine including a few functioning ore carts, a miners' telephone, control panels, old signage, old tools, miners' graffiti and artwork, tobacco tins, etc.. We saw it all, and it's included in the video. Video filmed in summer 2011.

Consistent with its status as one of the biggest abandoned mines in Nevada, it requires a hike of thousands of feet and a significant elevation decline just to get down to where the underground workings really begin at this massive mine… As can be seen near the start of this video, there are twin portals and passages running parallel down to the underground workings. Our guess was that this was because one passage was for traffic entering the mine and the other for traffic departing the mine. Deep underneath the mountain, the passages converge on a main hub from which drifts branch out in all directions. At the heart of this hub is a breakroom and a large workshop. A large drift takes off to the right from the workshop, while to the left a drift meanders away and another passage descends deeper into the bowels of the mountain. In this first video, we explore the hub of the mine as well as the workings taking off to the left from the hub. Following the descending passage, we were eventually blocked by flooding as the mine workings continue deep beneath the water level inside of the mine. One can only imagine how many miles of workings are under those dark waters. Fortunately, the other main drift taking off to the left was on a slight upward incline and so the water drained down and (mostly) out.
With the miles of underground workings at this abandoned mine stretching well into the double digits, one might expect there to be quite a lot of information available on this site. However, that is not the case. There is surprisingly little information to be found online and the various government agencies involved with this site have done a pretty thorough job of scrubbing references to it from their public databases.

Growing up in California’s “GoldRushCountry” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them – nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well.
These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that niche of our history is gone forever. But, guess what? We have fun doing it! This is exploring history firsthand – bushwhacking down steep canyons and over rough mountains, figuring out the techniques the miners used and the equipment they worked with, seeing the innovations they came up with, discovering lost mines that no one has been in for a hundred years, wandering through ghost towns where the only sound is the wind... These journeys allow a feeling of connection to a time when the world was a very different place. And I’d love to think that in some small way we are paying tribute to those hardy miners that worked these mines before we were even born.
So, yes, in short, we are adit addicts… I hope you’ll join us on these adventures!

As promised, I recently returned to the haunted HortonMine to fully explore it no matter what happened. I first explored the mine almost a year ago but turned around after only going into it a hundred feet or so and encountering a supernatural presence that I caught on film. That video is here if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReYbrlG4BAU
This most recent follow-up exploration led me deep into the mine all the way to its flooded end where I was standing at the bottom of a 900-foot tall ore pass that had water cascading down it. As I was filming this dank area, I once again had a frightening encounter with an unknown presence. After this recent experience, I will never set foot inside the Horton Mine again. Never.

Prospecting some new showings and sampling multiple showings for assays some are new and some are re samples for over limits. We had removed about a dozen other samples before the start of the video and in total we got 26 samples. In the video we explain how to sample and what we use when sampling when doing prospecting and hard rock sampling by hand. Most of these outcrops are heavily Mineralized carrying good values of free gold, silver and copper.
This sampling is part of a 2018 and 2019 program we are doing so we won't have my assay results till all the samples are sent in once we do that we will update the video description with some of the results.
Hope everyone enjoys the video and stay tuned for more!

Disturbing, strange sounds. That's exactly what I caught on video while filming and documenting the abandoned WaldeckMine using the ThruNite TN12 flashlight. The Waldeck Mine is an abandoned gold mine located deep in a forested canyon in the high country. I went there on a stormy night in order to document the mine while reviewing and demonstrating ThruNite's excellent TN12 handheld flashlight. The abandoned mine itself is over 150 years old and still has a lot of awesome yet dangerous timbering in its furthest reaches. There are upper levels in the Waldeck Mine, but I only explored and documented the main haulage tunnel.
As mentioned in the video, the ThruNite TN12 flashlight I used exclusively for this demo and review has five light levels. Here are the lumens each light level puts out:
FIREFLYMODE: 0.4 lumens
LOW MODE: 18 lumens
MEDIUM MODE: 175 lumens
HIGH MODE: 435 lumens
TURBO MODE: 1100 lumens
The flashlight runs off of a 3400 mAh 18650 battery.

We recently undertook an arduous, mountainous hike to the remote, abandoned Black WidowMine where we discovered many interesting things including a possible ghost that we inadvertently caught on tape. Many thanks to YouTuber Max Wheeler for pointing out this strange anomaly in the video.
The Black Widow Mine is a massive mine with over 7000 feet of workings spread out through six complicated levels. The mine is accessed via two tunnel entrances. One entrance is much higher on the mountain than the other one. The upper and lower workings are connected inside the mine by a 300-foot inclined winze. This was an impressive mine, and the strenuous hike to reach it was definitely worth it. Towards the end of the video, we inadvertently caught something on tape that defies explanation. A possible ghost sighting? You be the judge. We also explored the mining camp located outside the upper tunnel entrance. Interesting, unusual things you will see in this video besides the "ghost" include an intact, antique Master Lock from the early 1900s and a hangman's noose (yes, a noose!) strung up deep in the lower workings.

Exploring One Of The Biggest Abandoned Mines In Nevada: Part 1

Consistent with its status as one of the biggest abandoned mines in Nevada, it requires a hike of thousands of feet and a significant elevation decline just to get down to where the underground workings really begin at this massive mine… As can be seen near the start of this video, there are twin portals and passages running parallel down to the underground workings. Our guess was that this was because one passage was for traffic entering the mine and the other for traffic departing the mine.
